Postcard from The Hook: Million-Plus Club
According to a marketing postcard from Fillmore, the brokerage’s “Red Hook Team” of Nicole Gallucio and Marsha Yarde just set a record for the booming nabe when they sold a two-family house at 105 Pioneer Street for $1.065 million. This doesn’t sound so surprising to us but maybe it is a first. Thoughts? Gallucio’s Sold…

More Evidence of Fairway’s Effect on RH [Curbed]
I love that awning over the front door, does anyone know where it was purchased.
We looked at this house and seriously considered making an offer – it is gorgeous on the inside and has a great backyard, deck, and roofdeck for the tenants. A welcome break from all the Home Depot-ish renovations/rehabs you usually see. The drawback is, as always, transportation issues. We are about to have a baby and the agent specifically said that the owners were moving so they could be closer to family and childcare providers (they have twins). We absolutely love Red Hook, think the house is worth the $$, and have a car, but fear isolation with the little one on the way …
Houses that size have been hovering around a million for the past year, it just depends on the block and condition, but that one really is on one of the prime blocks in the Hook. It’s on Pioneer just off Coffey Park and on a block of almost all original houses that are well cared for and sans vinyl siding. But they’re not homes with a big footprint either. And don’t discount the new residents as uninvolved. I’ve met a lot of them at the CB6 meetings. They’re very invested in the neighbhorood.
Looks like snow, but something is green and leafy in the pic …
Yeah, that’s what we get for only publishing in the morning…the tip came in in the afternoon.
There is snow in the window boxes. Not good enuf for you?
Oops, I guess there are window boxes … For that price, I would have thrown in some flowers.
I don’t have a problem with austere, but that facade is crying out for exterior shutters, a period light fixture, window boxes … something.
It seems high, but with all the play RH is getting in the press, it isn’t too surprising. Unfortunately, I don’t think the fancy folks moving in are too interested in community issues such as transportation, education and land use. They just go from their car to their house with the occasional stop at Baked and Fairway. While it’s true that prices are up, the neighborhood has along what to go before there’s a high level of civic involvement like you see in FH, CH or Bed-Stuy. I feel sorry for the folks that fought the good fight against the waster transfer station, the PA’s eminent domain push to condemn the entire waterfront as recently as 1999 and redlining – the true watershed events RH’s improvement – that are now being pushed out of the area.
